I do know New York a little. Not much, but it turns out Loki was behind some big attack on the place. Not your version of it, I'll wager, 'cause you didn't have much of a reaction when I said his name. Not like folks who lived through what he did--whole alien army he brought down.
[Whether or not Ash believes him, Vrenille can speak about this with some degree of confidence now after the dream that he and Loki shared. He understands it better--the whole scale of the chaos, the destruction, and the city itself--what it looks like, just how massive and populous it is.
Of course all that's still nothing like living there, nothing like knowing what life is like, and so he's listening to Ash seriously in everything he says, listening for what's cocooned within his words.]
From what I saw--which, I'll grant, dreamscapes, not always the most reliable--it's bigger 'n the city where I grew up, and yeah, a helluvalot more vertical. That makes a difference, I'm not gonna deny. Maybe that makes all the difference.
I reckon I still know a little something 'bout what it's like to live on the streets though, seein' as I grew up on 'em since I was seven, in a city that'd been under siege for more 'n two hundred years--whole enemy army encamped on the plains ready to kill us if our walls fell.
So each one of us grew up surrounded by our own personal world of shit. Now, [he gives Ash a very level stare,] why should any of that make me "not bat an eye" at what I see in you?
